An Even More Awesome 1978 Corvette!!??

I really have to stay off eBay. Yesterday there was that beautiful ’78 Vette. It was a little tempting, but it wasn’t quite what I was looking for. If I could pick the perfect configuration I would have wished for a 1978 Corvette with a manual transmission (the other is automatic) and a black leather interior (the other had grey). Earlier today I noticed another 1978 Vette has been listed on eBay by the same seller as the other car. At first I thought it was the same car but soon realized this was another 1978 model with the exact specs I wanted. Ahhhhhh!

Do I need it? No. Do I want it? Yes. Would I love it? Yes. You just never know when the perfect thing will pop up on eBay. A car like this may roll around every few years or you may never see one again. What to do, what to do…

Gotta let this one slide. As I mentioned in my last post I already have way to much to do and taking care of another car would be a pain.  Besides, if I’m going to spend the money I’d rather put it into the car I already have (is there an LSX block in my future?). Maybe one day…

Awesome 1978 Corvette!!

I don’t know why, but every so often I go to eBay and search for Corvettes. In addition to turbo and supercharged Vettes I always look for black 1978 Corvettes. For some reason or another I am hung up on the idea of driving around a car that was “born” in the same year as me.

Lo and behold, I ran across this beauty the other day! I toyed with the idea of getting it (I thought it was a steal at around $10K) but I don’t have any place to put it and I don’t have time to work on it. It sold pretty quickly and I think the new owner is going to have a blast. Anyway, I just wanted to share this awesome ’78 Vette.

Maybe one day…
